Need Advice

zjFirestar · 02-09-2008, 03:10 AM

Im still a young bruiser, about lvl 14, and I have just returned to the game after about a 3 year hiatus and seeing much has changed. The biggest change for me was the AA's which im still trying to figure out which route to take so I need some advice.I really like the Str tree even though I keep seeing that it really isnt worth it, but I like the abilities and Chi looks really useful, so I was thinking of combining it with the Int tree. But looking at the second ability in the tree (cant remember the name) I believe it said must have "fist" equipped in primary hand, would that include unarmed or would it need to be a fist weapon. Also, would this sort of build have good damage output and solo-ability, I dont particularly want to tank with this char, but I know I will have to sometimes, but dps is why Im making him so any tips or thoughts would be much appriciated.Thanks in advance ^_^

The good news is AA comes fast early on and its pretty easy to reach tier 3 skills sooner than later. Problem is STR only reaches parity with same level weapon at 4/4/3. 16STR is nice, our never miss mit debuff is also nice but thats 11 points in to get where you started SMILEY

If I had to do it again I would run up the INT line until I had enough points to respec into 4/4/6 STR and go from there. Currently at 32 I'm sitting pretty at STR 4/4/8 and INT 4/4/4. For the solo player thats just mean. Once I cap out INT to 4/4/8 I'm still undecided as to reaching for Chi or Eagle or filling in another damage line. Since I solo mostly and if I group its with guild as dps so Eagle is limited use since in groups I won't really take a beating and solo I've probably FD or gotten the hell out if I get to 30%. Chi is very nice little holy crap button that I can use at 100% health but at 10 minute reuse its situational as well. Another tree though is something I can bring to the fight every time.

Chi while <30% with Eagle be just devastating though. Food for thought.
